A theosophical term referring to a [[universal]] filing [[system]] which records every occurring [[thought]], [[word]], and [[action]]. The records are impressed on a subtle substance called '''akasha''' (or soniferous ether). In Hindu [[mysticism]], this akasha is thought to be the primary principle of [[nature]] from which the other four natural principles, fire, air, earth, and water, are created. These five principles also represent the five [[senses]] of the [[human being]]. | A theosophical term referring to a [[universal]] filing [[system]] which records every occurring [[thought]], [[word]], and [[action]].
